// DAY 3 & 4 IN SAN SEBASTIÁN.

Today’s post is going to be ALL iPhone photos!

I wanted to share a little bit of last night/today in San Sebastian with you all, but didn’t feel like going in and editing my digital images from today. I’ll post those at a later date of course! Today was so jam-packed. With knowing we only had one full day in this gorgeous city, we didn’t want to waste a single second. You can definitely see a TON of this city in one day, it’s totally worth the trek out here.

We started our morning bright and early. It was pouring so hard when we left our airbnb place, but that wasn’t going to hold us back. First we went straight to Old Town to try and have a little breakfast. Since our first day in Spain, we’ve ordered tortilla de patatas almost every day…we love love love it. After walking through all the lovely streets of Old Town, we made our way up the hill to Monte Igueldo, which is the BEST view of the city. Just as we got up there the sun came out and literally took my breath away with how stunning it was. We of course took way too many photos, but we just couldn’t stop.

We then made our way back down the hill and into the downtown area where all the shopping goes down. I can’t even begin to describe how intense this area is with shops. Literally shops EVERYWHERE. We spent the evening weaving in and out of little boutiques, grabbing tea and oranges along the way. It really was a perfect day.

Tomorrow we head to Barcelona bright and early.If you have any suggestions on things to do/see/eat while we are in Barcelona please let me know in the comments below!

Now time for some serious sleep.

xo.

Today started with a ton of rain which wasn’t so fun, but thank goodness we had our car to do a little exploring around while staying dry!

Once the rained slowed down, we made our way to Old Town which has all sorts of small awesome streets like this one filled with TONS of pintxos bars. You basically just go in and choose little finger foods, it’s awesome.

Here is a perfect example of pintxo! (pronounced “pincho” in case you were butchering the word like we were!)

The Plaza de la Constitution.

I’ve taken so many photos of little balconies like this. I just LOVE them.

Rockin’ the top knot of course.

This photo doesn’t even do this view justice. We got up here with no one around and it was simply breathtaking. A view I’ll definitely never forgot. If you are visiting this city, you HAVE to make your way up to Monte Igueldo.

Also, a HUGE shoutout to MOMENT LENS for partnering with us on this amazing trip. We have been LOVING our Tele and Wide lenses for all sorts of different shots. A majority of these shots were actually taken with the wide lens they offer. Check them out!

love following your trip, tonhya! even more jealous that you’ll be heading to barcelona because i miss it everyday.
a few recs…
bormouth for tapas! afterwards, walk two steps for a giant glass of sangria at loft del born. that or just order multiple rounds of drinks at bormouth 🙂 haha. espai mescladis is a great place to just sit & chat + drink. these places are all in the el born barrio. walk and get lost in el born. it’s the best! go through placa commercial + passeig del born and weave in and out of the area. then stop at la xocolateria for churros.
then there’s my most favorite place…la boqueria! go to el quim (tapas bar inside) which was recommended to us by jill devries. delicious! but really, just go through the entire market to pick up empanadas, fruit, fresh juice, meat and have a picnic somewhere.
do not miss la sagrada familia. i am getting goosebumps just typing about it. try to see as much gaudi as you can, but make la sagrada #1 on the list.
el gotic / el born / el raval / l’eixample (so much shopping) are all in the city center and easy to walk to from one to the next. i took the metro a couple of times on my own and it’s easy.
for my last two days, i had an apartment in gracia (where park guell is – more gaudi) and i loved it there. it was away from the touristy city centre. if you have a chance, definitely explore gracia. sit and eat at placa de la virreina & place del sol. walk through verdi st and surrounding calles for cute shops & lots of eateries + gelato.
didn’t get a chance to make it to mt. tibidabo, but i hear it’s pretty awesome!
lastly, be super aware & cautious. we saw a couple of pickpockets in action (the first was within our first hour in the city). they are tricky and sneaky and will get you when you least expect it. as long as you are cautious and aware, you’ll be fine! otherwise, barcelona is one of my favorite cities! you guys will love it. enjoy! xx
